I'm going to wind down my posting on here unless it changes. I'll still check in, and may reply but otherwise I'll be on Bluesky.
Two snow geese into roost at Swine Moor at 16:25 - last knockings! Also 8000+ pinks and still coming

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
Managed five lifers this morning on a brief stroll through Dubai including Indian Roller, Shikra, Grey Francolin, Indian Pied Starling and this here White-cheeked Bulbul.
Got the Nocmig out for a nice session last night including a Tufted Duck! A garden Nocmig first nonetheless. Also plenty of redwings, some nice Wigeon passes and a Dunlin #nocmig trektellen.org/count/view/26…
Awesome to show Abby her first Bottlenose Dolphins at Barmston. They had moved quite a long way offshore when we got there, after feeding close in this morning
LiDAR is the only way flight heights can be measured currently, and not modelled. I will be very interested in the outcome of this study as @APEM_Ltd provide LiDAR as part of their Digital Aerial Survey service.
We're using laser technology to understand #seabird flight heights, wind turbine collision risk and mitigation.
Our multi-partner 'ReSCUE' project, funded by @CrownEstate, uses #LiDAR to facilitate nature-friendly expansion of #OffshoreWind.

Returning to work today after 11 days off. A lovely start to the morning with 1500+ Pink-footed Geese heading NE over the vilage
Okay, so this is within walking distance of home and is my local grass Snake spot. youtu.be/XBlxZs1whMo?si=D7v8…
The highlight of this morning's #Migweek walk with @LeeLj337 for @FlamboroughBird, a Twite plus Yellow-browed Warbler, Brambling, Marsh Harrier and Corn Bunting.
Funny story, I'm laid up on Stronsay, having done my back in catching a one-horned miniature ram as he attacked me, after chasing a crest along a wall, and not noticing the ram was in with some ponies.
